Description

The guitar and lute both enjoy a rich and varied tradition of expert players who are also recognized composers. In Renaissance Europe, the lute was the king of instruments, inspiring some of the period’s greatest works. The guitar in Hispanic and Latin countries is also endowed with a line of musicians whose mastery continues to ensure a place in our cultural fabric for this most personal of instruments.

Alan Rinehart has made many contributions to the guitar world as a performer, teacher, and music editor. Completing studies at Western Michigan University and a Professional Music Training Diploma from Vancouver Community College, he studied lute repertoire and technique in London, England at the Early Music Centre with Anthony Rooley, Jakob Lindberg, Nigel North and Emma Kirkby. From 1983 to 2003 he was a faculty member of the music schools at the University of British Columbia and Vancouver Community College
